Digital agency Ixis has signed a deal to provide website development, hosting and support services for German-based energy company Uniper.

The deal, which will run for an initial three-year period with a potential extension period of two years, will see the North-West agency responsible for delivering a fully managed hosting service, infrastructure and application support and migration configuration support.

Uniper, a leading international energy company operating from Dusseldorf, Germany, was formed in 2016 when E.ON spun off major parts of its business, forming Uniper as a separate company. Uniper provides a supply of energy and related services. Its main operations include power generation in Europe and Russia and global energy trading. Overall, Uniper operates in more than 40 countries.
